    After playing both the PS1 and PSP version of this game, it makes it pretty obvious it was designed with two analog sticks in mind. It

    The PSX version i must say was more fun. I thought it was a new storyline but it isnt. The inverted slingshot controls etc drive me nuts as well as the terrible camera control. Catching and walking is fine in my mind.

    I think that this game is fun and can get addicting although the the camera and bad controlling makes the gae less enjoyable and annoying. The graphics are average and the sound really fits into the game but you find you put it on mute after a while as it gets annoying.

    While it was a decent games for the PSOne, especially popular with the kiddies, it seems a waste of the PSP.

    The only major problem with Ape Escape is it doesn't really offer a thrilling gameplay experience. Much like the original, it lacks that all important "wow" factor.

    The finely tuned control that made the first game such a hit seems to have been lost in translation, but the game still has considerable charm.
